Page Boy’s Yin & Yang Road - C120
The sudden disappearance of the old man scared the hell out of Uncle Zhuang. However, he also thought about it. Maybe he had seen the wrong number, or maybe the old man was standing at the four corners of his line of sight as an excuse.
However, he could not find any reason to comfort himself after this kind of thing happened a few times in succession.
Once, he even saw a woman with half her head rotten, covered in blood, standing not far from him. One of her bloody eyes was staring straight at him, and she was so scared that her heart almost gave birth to a heart attack.
This sort of thing that would pop up from time to time was not bad. What was even more scary was that within this month of driving, he had encountered four to five accidents consecutively!
The first time was when he bumped into a youth riding a bicycle. Luckily, he didn’t suffer too much damage and lost some money.
The second time, he almost ran into an old man who was rushing out of the street. Although he didn’t have anything to do, he still lost money when he ran into the old man who was pulling a broken tricycle.
The third time was when he stopped the car and was about to get off. As soon as he opened the door, there was a loud bang. A woman riding an electric bike was knocked over by the car door and lost money.
The day before yesterday, he drove very slowly and carefully as if he was afraid that something bad would happen. Even if it wasn’t a big problem, no one could afford to pay for it.
The day before yesterday, he was slowly driving the car. Even though he clearly saw that the lights were green, he suddenly heard the sound of someone honking the horn. He cursed in his heart, who was so anxious to honk the horn all the time, rushing to be reincarnated!
However, just as he raised his head in the direction of the sound, he saw a large truck driving from his right and was about to collide with it!
The old driver reacted quickly. He immediately stepped on the throttle and the truck roared past him!
He looked in the direction of the horn. It was a man driving a silver bun. The man stopped beside him and rolled down the window. “Big Brother, are you all right?” he asked. What’s wrong with driving without getting distracted? If you’re tired, then find a place to sleep. If you didn’t dodge that earlier, then the car would have been flattened! ”
Uncle Zhuang took a few breaths to regain his senses. He said that he was looking at a green light and did not expect a large horse carriage to rush out.
The man looked at Uncle Zhuang strangely and said: “I say you must have been thinking too much. “It was clearly a red light just now, but the row of cars are all parked here. You were just slowly driving forward, and the strike just now really scared us to death.”
That kind-hearted man saw that the Uncle Zhuang was fine and drove away, but the Uncle Zhuang himself did not dare to calm down. After a long while, he did not dare to drive anymore, and directly got the driver to drive back. He did not even dare to take a taxi, and directly took the bus back to his home!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. When he heard the principal mention our academy’s strange room 104, he knew that it was handled by Wu Ji and I, and he also knew that even someone like the Captain Liu had sought for help from Wu Ji. He also knew why the Uncle Zhuang had sought out Wu Ji to see what was going on.
Uncle Zhuang sullenly said: “To tell you the truth, little miss, my family doesn’t believe this. But the things that happened this month, combined, is too much of a coincidence. It’s simply unlucky to the extreme, so I can’t help but believe it.”
Looking at his sad face, I couldn’t help but want to laugh: “Although you are really quite unlucky in this month, but from a different perspective, even though you had several accidents, and you didn’t have any life-threatening dangers, and you were always on the safe side, isn’t this also a blessing in disguise? If you think that there is something wrong with you, then I feel that there is something protecting you.”
When the Uncle Zhuang and the Principal heard me say this, they asked me what I meant.
I explained, “If you don’t have any protection by your side, you won’t be harmed in the slightest by all these accidents. It’s just a small fortune. Isn’t this fortunate?” Otherwise, if these things were to happen to an ordinary person, even if they didn’t die, they would at least die a horrible death. ”
When the two of them heard this, they both thought about it and said that if they thought about it from a different perspective, it seemed to make sense.
Actually, what I said was just a guess. Even though there is such a possibility, I am not sure. And the reason why he said all these to Uncle Zhuang was just to comfort him a little, and to stop him from continuing to wail like this.
While we were talking, we arrived at the apartment building. After I received the news that Wu Ji had returned home, I brought some people upstairs.
After meeting Wu Ji, I explained the cause of this matter to him.
Wu Ji did not immediately say anything, but poured himself four cups of tea.
I realised that he drank three cups of green tea, and there was another cup of red-brown liquid without any tea leaves in it. I didn’t know what it was, but he placed that cup in front of Uncle Zhuang.
“Please.” Wu Ji made a gesture of invitation.
We all picked up our teacups separately, but Uncle Zhuang noticed that what he said was different from ours, so he asked us why.
Wu Ji lowered his eyes as he sipped on his tea. “Since my cousin gave you a reason to drink, then just drink it.”
The headmaster nodded for him to drink, though he, like me, did not know what it was.
Uncle Zhuang frowned, hesitated for a moment, then picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
I watched him drink it with a pained expression, guessing it didn’t taste very good.
During this time, Wu Ji had been staring fixedly at Uncle Zhuang. Even though his eyes were calm, they contained a great deal of deterrence and presence, causing Uncle Zhuang to feel a little uncomfortable.
After drinking the tea and putting down the cup, Wu Ji asked Uncle Zhuang: Who is Hongtao?
This question was strange to me, but when I heard the two words “Hongtao,” Uncle Zhuang’s hands immediately trembled, and his face instantly changed, revealing a shocked expression as though a secret that had been buried deep inside was suddenly revealed by someone.
“You … How do you know about Hongtao? ” Pausing, Uncle Zhuang asked instead of answering.
Wu Ji did not directly answer his question either, he only said, “Your lifespan is up, Hongtao is the one protecting you.”
“What?!” All three of us were shocked at the same time.
After Wu Ji slowly explained it to us, we finally understood what was going on and why the Uncle Zhuang was so unlucky that he didn’t die yet.
Wu Ji had said that the Uncle Zhuang was a man who deserved to die, which meant that he should already be dead. However, there was a woman named Hongtao, or in other words, the Female Ghost, that was always by his side, trying to save his life!
Later, Wu Ji wanted the Uncle Zhuang’s birthday to calculate the date, saying that the Uncle Zhuang should have already died that night.
Uncle Zhuang and the Principal both said in shock that night was the day when he crashed into something when he was driving, but did not discover anything!
In the car just now, although the Uncle Zhuang God told me about his matter, he didn’t say exactly which day it happened.
But Wu Ji was able to deduce the date directly from the date he was born!
“That night, the thing that hit you was Hongtao’s soul. She used herself to protect you from this calamity, and then all the accidents that happened in succession, you were supposed to die, but Hongtao was the one who kept trying to find a way to resolve them.” Wu Ji’s voice was light, as if he was talking about ordinary things like getting ready noodles at night or eating rice. However, when they heard it, the three of them were so shocked that they couldn’t speak.
After a moment of silence, Wu Ji said, “Your fate was originally stolen from you this month. I’m afraid that both Hongtao and you will be punished because of this. Yet Hongtao is still willing to help you even though she knows it’s like that, she loves you a lot. ”
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard the word love from Wu Ji’s mouth, but it’s because of such a heavy matter.
Uncle Zhuang lowered his head like a frosted eggplant, and said dejectedly: “I’m sorry to her, she’s my lover.”
It turns out that Hongtao was Uncle Zhuang’s first love, and not long after his wife died, he and Hongtao met. However, Uncle Zhuang never revealed his relationship with Hongtao because he was worried that other people would say that he had just become a widower and then mess with other women.
However, Hongtao didn’t blame him for it. She obediently became his secret lover, but the good news didn’t last long. Last year, Hongtao died in an accident.
And because Uncle Zhuang was concerned about his own identity and reputation, he didn’t even dare to go to Hongtao’s funeral to send her off …
